lyrics

Look into my eyes
Read my lips if you can't hear
The prophecy's come true
Our end is coming near

Fear runs colder than your blood
Spread like poison in your veins
Give me one last heartbeat
Your life will never be the same

This is where we bury our dead
(Our dead, our dead)
This is where we bury our dead
(Our dead)

So read the lines that run across my hands
Will I die and have to start again?
So read the lines that run across my hands
Will I die and have to start again?

Look into my eyes
Read my lips if you can't hear
The prophecy's come true
Our end is coming near

Fear runs colder than your blood
Spread like poison in your veins
Give me one last heartbeat
Your life will never be the same

This is where you've made your bed
(So sleep, so sleep)
This is where we bury our dead
(Our dead)

So read the lines that run across my hands
Will I die and have to start again?
So read the lines that run across my hands
Will I die and have to start again?

This is where you've made your bed
(So sleep, so sleep)
This is where we bury our dead

It only gets worse from here
It only gets worse from here

So read the lines that run across my hands
Will I die and have to start again?
I'm not ready, but I'll give in
To pain, and hell I'll descend

Look into my eyes
Read my lips if you can't hear
The prophecy's come true
Our end is coming near

This is not the end
Don't count down the days in fear
If the fortune's coming true
The end, is here

The last thing you can do
Is close your eyes and pray
That everyone was wrong
That it's just an off day
Hope they read the tarot wrong
The crystal ball was fake
Maybe the teller never told the truth
Cause lying's a piece of cake

Look into my eyes
Read my lips if you can't hear
The prophecy's come true
The end, is here
